Southern Recipes - Taste The Southern Spices And Sauces With Fish or Meat
By Sanjay R M Gupta
Southern recipes include a range of spices, peppers, sauces with
meat and fish.
The South is known for its hospitality when it comes to food.
Different regions and cultures have their own Southern recipes,
reflecting the traditions of Native Americans and ideas brought
from Africa, France and the Caribbean.
It all makes for a tasty melting pot of dishes. It's not always
the healthiest of cuisine but there are plenty fish and vegetable
elements for people concerned with healthy living.
Many Southern households wake up to the aroma of Country Ham
with Red -Eye Gravy served for breakfast. This is usually cooked
along with grits, biscuits and eggs. Dinner may be chicken and
rice, cooked in the Spanish way, with hot pepper sauce, paprika
and saffron.

Tex-Mex
Texas has its own dishes, with Tex-Mex recipes that are well
known across the world. San Antonio Chill is one example, a meal
based on beef or pork and cooked with dried chili peppers, cumin
and oregano.
They know how to make a good cake in Texas too. The Texas Sheet
Cake is made with sour cream and cocoa with a chopped pecan frosting.
Soul Food
African American cookery, otherwise known as soul food, often
uses peanuts, black-eyed peas, sweet potatoes and okra in Southern
recipes. Peanut butter gives a tangy flavor to Chicken and Groundnut
Stew.
Jambalaya
Jambalaya is another favorite, made with shrimp or ham and rice,
bacon and bell peppers. There are variations, made from chicken
or seafood.
Jambalaya also crops up in Cajun and Louisiana dishes but the
most well known dish from these parts is the classic Gumbo, a
Louisiana stew or soup. There are several versions, passed down
from Indian, French, Spanish or African influenced Southern recipes.
The basis for the dish is the roux and it usually contains okra.
There are recipes for crawfish, some methods using thick cream
and dry sherry. Alligator is another delicacy; cooked in a delicious
lemon and white wine sauce.
Mint Julep
In Kentucky, the locals like to sit out on the porch at the end
of a hard day and relax with a glass of Mint Julep. This tradition
calls for mint leaves, sugar, ice, water and bourbon. Kentucky
bourbon can also be found in Bourbon and Chocolate Pecan Pie.
Jam Cake
Another treat for a sweet tooth is Jam Cake, made with blackberry
jam, spices and raisins topped with a cream cheese frosting. Vegetables
are not forgotten here and this state is fond of asparagus in
its Southern recipes.
They like to grill it, after marinating it in dill, lemon, and
garlic.

Did You Know?
What are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are
pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons,
mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.
One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off
the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from
cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part
of your cooking basics.
Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer.
These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan
set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can
be used for anything similar.
